How can i improve my website speed please check the current score
A 56 is a pretty good score if you have an engaging site using 3rd party apps. The score with that tool is not equal to speed, rather it’s a recommendation based on general website development.
To understand scoring system on various tools in the context of Shopify sites, see Understanding Load Speed + Analysis Tools and Scoring on Shopify.
That being said, there may be some things you can improve, you would need to look into the details of the results.
I recommend first running your site through the Shopify Analyzer - that’s a free tool for the community, that is focused specifically on Shopify sites.
After that, do a round of app optimization (some app optimization techniques can’t be picked up by analysis tools). Here’s a guide to do that: App Optimization Guide for Shopify.
At this point you’ll have most of what can be optimized on a Shopify site. You can always take it further, but just remember you’re running an ecommerce site, where the main goal is getting sales (I assume), rather than having the fastest site on the web, so don’t compromise usability just to get higher score in any tool.
Our site has a lot of free guides and tools for you to handle optimization in-house, but if you seek professional help feel free to reach out at speedboostr.com/contact.
Hi @callmemalangi ,
When it comes to site speed, please note that there are several factors impacting your online store speed, some of which you can control, others you cannot.
Factors you can’t control
-
Your customer’s device, network, and location
-
Shopify infrastructure
-
Content delivery network (CDN)
-
Local browser cache
-
Server-side page cache
-
The assets inside the content_for_header Liquid tag
Factors you can control
- Unnecessary Apps
When you add apps to change the functionality or appearance of your online store, they add code into the theme so they can run. Some code can be removed or reordered to improve your online store’s performance. If you’re not using an app, then you can remove it.
- Themes
Themes are made up of Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. When you edit or customize themes, file sizes can increase and affect your store speed.
- Complex or inefficient Liquid code
You can edit almost all of the Liquid that is used to render your store. There are efficient and inefficient ways of writing Liquid code. Doing complex operations repeatedly can increase your Liquid render time, which impacts your overall store speed.
- Images and videos
High-resolution images usually require large files and therefore slow down page loading times.
- Fonts
If you use a font that does not yet exist on your customer’s computer, then the font has to be downloaded before your text can be displayed.
I suggest you try AVADA SEO Suite which has great features that can help you with improving site speed such as Image Optimization, Speed Up, Lazy Loading, and Minification (removes unnecessary information from the source code**)**.
